158 NOYITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 191G. 



line between M and SM 2 placed on a conspicuous yellow paten, which is nearly as 

 extended longitudinally as transversely ; the yellow patch between M 2 and SM 2 

 against postmedian line also enlarged, nearly or quite as extended longitudinally as 



transversely. Hindwing broadly yellow from close to base to beyond antemedian 



band ; this band broader and more distally placed than in roseipalpis, reaching 

 beyond the discocellulars and enclosing on DC 2 a slight pale mark ; apical fringe 

 with a small rosy, black-mixed dash or short streak. 



La Oroya, R. Inambari, Carabaya, Peru, 3100 ft., November — December 1905, 

 wet season (G. R. Ockenden). Type in coll. Tring Mus. Others from the same 

 locality and from Santo Domingo, 6000-6500 ft. 



Perhaps this and not basieostalis Dogn. will prove to be the western subspecies 

 of roseipalpis Feld, (from Venezuela), of which at present I only know two or three 

 specimens, basieostalis (which is also common at Santo Domingo) appears slightly 

 squarer-winged, and the red base of costa distinguishes it from both the other forms 

 in question. 



19. Rhodochlora tornistriga sp. nov. 



d\ 53-56 mm. Face cadmium yellow, the markings maroon, consisting of a 

 narrow stripe above, a line down middle and a narrow stripe at side, broadening 

 rapidly in lower half. Palpus maroon. Vertex and antennal shaft white. Thorax 

 green above, white beneath. Abdomen above green anteriorly, fading off to white ; 

 beneath white. 



Forewing green, slightly paler than in most of the genus, the markings 

 maroon with a purplish admixture ; antemedian line present between M and SM 2 , 

 slender and somewhat interrupted, slightly angled outward before middle, edged 

 proximally and distally with cream-colour ; cell-spot weak ; postmedian line from 

 R 1 3 mm. from termen, moderately dentate to M 2 , between M 2 and SM 2 deeply 

 inbent and enclosing on its distal side a large cream-coloured spot ; a patch distally 

 to this, more or less connected with terminal line, becoming narrow and interrupted 

 anteriorly to M 2 , disappearing before reaching R 3 ; a conspicuous terminal line 



from M 2 to tornus, the fringe also here reddened. Hindwing ample, the termen 



•convex, very slightly bent in middle, apex not quite as squared as in roseipalpis 

 Feld. ; snbbasal patch large but pale (scarcely yellower than cream-colour), the 

 purplish contained band variable in width, followed distally by an elongate cell- 

 mark on the anterior part of DC 3 ; postmedian line faintly indicated in darker green 

 and with small maroon dots on the veins from R 1 to M 2 and a very feeble, 

 interrupted sinus inward between this and SM 2 ; a maroon terminal line from apex 

 •to beyond SO 3 , accompanied by some very slight dusting proximally. 



Forewing beneath more whitish posteriorly, the markings of upperside 

 indicated, mostly ill-defined, a green postmedian line traceable but not sharp. 

 Hindwing beneath in part whitish, the green postmedian line thicker and more 

 distinct than above, but without vein-dots ; markings of upperside otherwise 

 indicated but not sharp.

20. Racheospila pectinifera sp. nov.
